Inventory Suggestion: New Game Feature

Gillysan

I would really like to see an end to all this Inventory moaning. So here is my suggestion. Mostly I like the idea of being able to organize things.

Crafted containers that hold specific items or simply drag & drop items in them. Make these use Legendary components in their creation, so they aren't easy to obtain. Once you have them on a character, they are there for life anyways. A container will take up one regular inventory slot, but will give you X more space inside the box.

There are various ways to do this and this is only a suggested model.

• Metal Box - only for metal type weapons and armor and/or blacksmithing items(ore, ingots). Shows as a new tab in Inventory. 18 slots (based off 9 ores+9 ingots)
• Wood Box - only for wood type weapons, shields and/or woodworker items(logs, refined wood). 18 slots
• Leather Bags - only for cloth armor and/or clothing materials
• Metal/Wood/Cloth Gem Box/Bag - only for trait gems. 16 Slots. Shows as a new tab in inventory
• Metal/Wood/Cloth Style Stones Box/Bag - only for style stones. 16 Slots
• Alchemists Metal/Wood/Cloth Box/Bag - not sure how many slots
• Enchanters Metal/Wood/Cloth Rune Keeper - 46(?) slots or break it out into 3 types, i.e Metal Potency Rune Keeper(24 slots), Wood Essence Keeper(17 slots), Cloth Aspect Keeper Bag(5 slots)

A box or bag has to be magically "locked", which makes it bound to you before being used. There is a limit of one container type carried. In the bank there should be similarly named containers but they can not be carried and a limit of one type in the bank once it is magically locked.

Alternatively, can make the carried versions half the size I noted above. The bank container versions able to hold all those materials.

A simplified version would be boxes & bags that give you a flat 10 extra inventory slots, along with a new tab. Each craft profession would be able to fashion a bag extra container and a bank extra container. So a total of 12 containers or 60 slots for the characters bag space and 60 slots for the bank. Maybe this would work easier with the current coding of inventory space. Magically locking/attuning a container to you binds and makes a permanent increase of slots where applied.

I very much like the idea of more tabs so I can organize my crap better.

There is an add-on that creates tabs for each category for your inventory and bank. but yeah, +1 from me for the idea

I have that add-on already and it's great for the predefined categories made by ZOS. My idea with the containers would be more like player defined filters that you can add to any item.

Or just do like Guild Wars and make crafting items static inventory. Then you don't take up inventory slots for crafting.

...but this isn't GW.

Oh yes, I'm sorry. If someone comes up with something innovative, you have to shun them and hide in the dark, because we can't concede that they have a better solution.
